Calendula still blooming...
by Reuben Grove on October 12, 2014
The bees are settling down for winter, and Madeleine's Cream HQ is now a quieter glade.
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dro pping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
W.B. Yeats
Calendula, the great healer, and fragrant Rose Geranium, are still going strong here.
Time to order your Beeswax Ointment for those wind-chapped lips?
